I used two different papers: patterned paper and cardstock (as the green/light blue you see on the finished box). Your template will be a dessert plate, mine is 7.5 in diameter. Cut one circles one each paper. The patterned paper is optional but it looks so beautiful I highly recommend it ☺

Now cut a square of 3 in x 3 in from printer paper and place it on the center, you don´t have to be perfect here! score by the sides of the square across the circle. Now take a cutting tool or scissors and cut at the black lines I have drawn on the picture below. Now fold the paper at the red lines and around the square (that will be the base of the box).

Now is time to assemble your box! put some double sided tape on the "ears" and stick them on the inside as you see on the picture below. Repeat with all four ears on the patterned paper and on the cardstock.

You will end up with two boxes. Take a bit of double sided tape and place it on the inside of the patterned paper box, and place the cardstock box inside. And that´s it!
It´s more difficult to explain it in words than doing it.... You can use it also as a nice little gift holder, I made one of these cute boxes and filled them with small craft goodies for a dear friend. Hope you like it!!
